One of the things I noticed was this from Collen Daley, commenting on a possible pro-gun ruling from CA7:

Quote:

We have received some feedback that it could come back in their [the plaintiff’s] favor,” said Colleen Daley, executive director for the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. “But the ruling hasn’t come down yet, so we’ll deal with it when it does.

It's pretty vague, but something has energized the anti-gun politicians in Illinois so they must be taking this rumor seriously.
